The Mediapro Studio arrives at ATF 2025 presenting a slate that spans high-stakes international thrillers, intense social dramas, and character-driven sports documentaries. The offerings reflect a focus on productions rooted in local culture but designed for global resonance.
The company is placing significant emphasis on the Chilean production Raza Brava (4×52′), a drama directed by International Emmy winner Hernán Caffiero. The series is one of the first fictional works to directly portray a real Latin American football club, telling the story of Barti, a young man from humble origins who rises to become the leader of the Colo-Colo’s Garra Blanca fan club, where ambition leads him into a dangerous world of corruption and violence.

The Icelandic-set thriller Reykjavik Fusion (6×52′) centers on Jónas, a talented chef falsely imprisoned, who jeopardizes his parole and his life by accepting illicit funds to open a restaurant in an attempt to regain his family’s trust. Another international co-production, Jakarta (6×45′), follows Joserra, a man haunted by his past in badminton, who dedicates himself to training a gifted young player named Mar, confronting both sports challenges and personal demons.
The drama slate also includes the contemporary thriller Quiet (8×45′), set during the March 2020 lockdown in Barcelona, where the empty streets become the backdrop for a chilling series of brutal murders targeting the homeless. On the lighter side, So far so good (8×30′) is a dramedy where successful comic artist Ariel struggles with family and social pressures, with a physical ailment sparking a humorous self-exploratory journey. For horror fans, the anthology series Tales from the void (6×32′) offers chilling episodic tales inspired by viral stories from r/NoSleep, exploring the darkest corners of the human psyche.
